Interesting "Three Dots" Alternative That Never Made It

I happened to see a vid posted online comparing a prototype AT&T XL to the One X. It's got a different approach to the settings dots than what ended up implemented. It's an overlay that doesn't reduce the available size of the screen. I get that you hit the down arrow to hide it. But how would get get it to redisplay? I guess we'll never know.

There's also a really stupid feature on the One X. You can set the off button to hang up on calls (I liked it on the SGS2). When you're on the phone the screen blanks to save battery. So with a blank screen and no physical or active buttons, the only button that functions is the on/off switch. In other words, once the screen goes blank it has to stay that way until you hang up the call. Interesting feature.

The phone uses the proximity sensor, when you place it close to your ear the screen blanks, when you take it away the screen turns on again. You don't need the power button.

That arrow to pulls 3 dots bar down comes on 1.19 software. I had it before but I updated to 1.26 and it was gone

Not on BT. That's the way I was using it when I found the problem. Good point though.

After you arrowed it down, how were you able to get it to redisplay?

By holding down the recent apps button. I also had it in 1.19 but then it was removed when i updated to 1.28

Keyboard resizing issue when turning Power Saving mode off.

I am using SwiftKey on the Note 7 and each time I change the Power Savings the keyboard resizes it gets really big or small. Rebooting helps but I wish I didnt have to. Does anyone know what is the Issue and what can be done? - - thanks in advance!

Is it because the power saving mode also changes the resolution and SwiftKey hasn't compensated for the change?

Does it enlarge the entire screen or just the keyboard?

Hi, good point. When I have Power Saving (MID) Mode on, the font content in chrome looks larger and the keyboard looks fine. When I turn off Power Savings., the font content looks normal but the keyboard shrinks. However I have also sent the keyboard enlarge so as you can't see all the keys.

Don't need to reboot. I just switch keyboards in the notification pull down then switch back to SwiftKey and it fixes it. Not a fix but faster then a reboot

I don't see option to switch keyboard in notification pull down.

Should look like this. Click on "select keyboard" and choose a different keyboard. Then do it again and click SwiftKey.

LineageOS 14.1: How to disable app killing with 4 Back Button Taps ?

Hello,
I installed LineageOS 14.1 to my new Oneplus 3T. Formerly, I use CM12.1 on Moto G. My biggest problem now: If I do 4 or more fast taps to back button, the active app is closed . This behavior is really annoying, when using a webbrowser or just go 4 steps back in any other app/game. Is this a LineageOS or a device specific problem? Is there a way to disable it in settings? It occurs on hard- and soft back buttons (swapped or not).
Thanks in advance

I found out, it's the 'panic detection mode' from android 7.1 and NOT lineageos specific: See https://www.xda-developers.com/andr...ode-that-detects-frantic-back-button-presses/
But I don't know how to disable it. Where can I find the config.xml from system-ui. Or do I need a modified apk? My phone is rooted.

I didn't find any way to switch off this stupid and senseless function. Normaly it's switched off, but the developers of LineageOS incomprehensibly have enabled it. If I want to home, I hit the home-button and not 4times back-button . And you can enable long-press back in developer Option to close any app.
So if this "feature" isn't configurable by user, I won't use official lineage os anymore. It's a pity . Now I'm using another unofficial custom rom for my phone!

I don't know how to disable that Nougat 4 taps Panic detection feature but what made me switch from Firefox to the stock LineageOS Browser on S3 LOS 14.1 is: while using Browser, tap on Recents button & from there kill tabs or switch to the one you where in 4 clicks ago without having to tap 4 times on the Back button.
It's so fast & cool IMO.

Question Screen touch sensitivity is kind of insane

My 6Pro is, just like the title suggests, super sensitive for very certain things. Because of a bit of a hand disability I have gestures turned off and I rely on the Back, Home, and App Overview buttons. But the Back button is crazy. When I tap it, about half the time it will double or triple tap. The App Overview button is super weird too, but I suspect that it is it's own thread in Android 12 forum.
I've gone through to make sure that in the Display settings, the "Increase touch sensitivity" is disabled. I don't know of any other option that could affect this. I'm going to try to reach out to Google for help, god help me. But maybe someone has some ideas or maybe is already aware of if this is a hardware bug?

Yeah, I have the same random issue....
Simple/single/small touches of the back button, become double/multiple registered touches for some reason?
IT IS a very frustrating bug at times

Under accessibility setting touch and hold to medium solved my sensitivity problem (sounds like i was Emo LOL)

I've reverted my setting to short now that I'm on the March update and it seems this is much better. I'll post further if my testing shows that medium is still the optimal setting, but short seems fine right now

Nope scratch that it's just not as bad it still does it back to medium

Question can't turn off back to home screen animation in gesture navigation mode, help

I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.

If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.

doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
